I love these types of discussions... The only thing I can come up with is the "way of life".

I'll try to explain succintly and if I fail, so be it: Someone who believes in "something" may understand their religious beliefs lead to a duty to help someone stuck on the side of the road. Think the Good Samaritan story in the Bible. Someone who does not believe in "something" but lives for themselves or whatever may see that person and just walk on by and the guy dies. The guy could've been Lincoln, Einstien, Bach, etc but the world will never have the pleasure of knowing him because the non-belief guy walked on by.

Now, that being said, that whole "synopsis" is very generalized. I know some GREAT people who have no belief system and some HORRIBLE people who believe they are the World's Best Christian and the Pope is a joke.

But just food for thought in getting that discussion started.
